This is the first book on the subject matter which I actually finished. When I started using it, I was completely noob in data analysis/ml.

Personally I'd say this is a good book. Sections dealing with Numpy, Pandas and Matplotlib are great.

However, I am hesitant to say the same about ML section. I felt like this book assumes some familiarity with general ML concepts. I also felt like ML chapters progressed a bit fast from beginning to the core of chapter.

In all, book is great. Sections on Numpy, Pandas etc are great. But as for ML section, don't use that section as an introduction/first course for ML.
